Custom Outline Codes

[Petra]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the custom outline codes. I build a new resource
enterprise through opening the Enterprise Global (then custom enterprise
field/custom outline codes/field resources, where I choose a resource
enterprise No.21/rename it: Knowledge of foreign languages/define a code mask
and it is done. Then I open the Enterprise Resource Pool, I open the
resource, in resource information I open the Custom Field (the last one).
Every knowledge which I built has two features (choose only one item/choose
more items). Could you give me a hint how to delete the option “choose one
itemâ€. Thank you very much for your explanation.

I think what you are describing is the behavior of Microosft Project
Professional when you use a Multi-Value (MV) resource outline code. When
you use an MV outline code, the system produces two versions of the MV code:
one version that allows you to select a single value only, and the other
version that allows you to select multiple values. Both versions of the
outline code are named the same, except that the MV outline code has the
letters "MV" in its name.

Since this is the default behavior of the software, there is no way to
delete the single value only version of the outline code. Instead, I would
recommend that you create a custom enterprise Resource Sheet view in your
Enterprise Global, with a custom enterprise resource Entry table, and then
make sure you include the MV version of the outline code in the custom
enterprise resource Entry table. This will ensure that you always see the
MV version of the outline code whenever you add new resources to your
Enterprise Resource Pool. Hope this helps.

Dale, thank you for your answer, you are right it concerns Multi-value
resource outline code.
